Falling Away

rotten tree branch

lies in yard

dead weight

 

I looked up but couldn’t see where it had fallen from.

“Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely He is God who judges in the earth.”  Psalm 58:11 NKJV

I am the Reward                                                                                 and the Rewarder                                                                               of  My                                                                                                 righteous ones

the God who judges                                                                         in the earth                                                                                       so that evil’s                                                                                           undone.

The Righteous

“And Abraham came near and said, “Would You also destroy the righteous with the wicked?”  Genesis 18:23 NKJV

Abraham was thinking about Lot who lived in Sodom, but so was God.

Thank You, Lord, for all You do for the sake of Your children.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

The righteous
in Christ

will not
be condemned

for He came
to give life

even to
the least of them.

God bless you as He saves you from evil today!

Seeking Glory

“He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory; but He who seeks the glory of the One who sent Him is true, and no unrighteousness is in Him.”  John 7:18

Jesus always seeks the glory of God.

Thank You, Lord, for being our truth and righteousness.  And  here’s a simple poem . . .

Let all I say
and do

seek and glorify
You

the One sent
from God

fully righteous
all truth and love.

God bless you as you seek His glory today!

True and Righteous

“And I heard another from the altar saying, “Even so, Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are Your judgements.”  Revelation 16:7

I can make good and bad judgements.

Thank You, Lord, for always making true and righteous judgements.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

You are the Lord
God Almighty

Your judgements
are righteous and true

You see the motives
and hearts of men

knowing who’ll yet repent
and turn to You.

God bless you as you trust in His true and righteous judgements today!

Reward

“Surely there is a reward for the righteous;
Surely He is God Who judges in the earth.”  Psalms 58:11

One thing that was tried while Aubrey was in public school was to give her rewards for good behavior, but then take them away for bad behavior. She soon grew indifferent to it all.

Jesus, thank You for being the reward no one can separate us from. And here’s a simple poem . . .

Surely

Surely there is a reward
for those in Jesus

for those who are righteous
because of Him

maybe not a prize
or points earned system

but far beyond anything
offered by this world.
